The games in the 2007 Finals sweep were closer than this one. After the one seven years ago, Duncan approached James and hugged him. Duncan said several nice things, including, “This is going to be your league in a little while.”
Then Duncan added: “But I appreciate you giving us this year.”
Both laughed, and most thought that was true. Duncan was fading, James was emerging, and the following titles would likely be heading some place other than San Antonio.
... As it turns out, James is the one who should have thanked Duncan — for 2013.
